Introduction to Log-Based Sequence Stratigraphy

This course is designed for Geologists, Geophysicists, Petrophysicists and Engineers who are actively involved in either creating log-based cross-sections with minimal core data or create and use geomodels. Participants will explore introduction, applicants in exploration and development, and obsolete ideas in sequence stratigraphy. Upon successful completion, attendees will have a greater understanding of sequence stratigraphy do's and don'ts, Walther's Law and facies belts, and identification of subaerial unconformities, maximum flooding surfaces, and wave and tidal ravinement surfaces. Attendees will also learn maximum regressive surfaces in subsurface datasets such as seismic, well-log and core data, sequence stratigraphy of shallow marine siliciclastic system.
